Polling stations have opened across Greece as millions of people are expected to cast ballots on whether to accept more austerity in exchange for international aid. Recent polls have predicted a knife-edge result, with ‘Yes’ having a slight advantage.

Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has reiterated in an interview with Germany’s Bild newspaper that he will resign if Greeks vote “Yes” in Sunday’s referendum.

But he added: “There will not be a majority for ‘Yes’,” Reuters reported.

Speaking to journalists after casting a vote, Varoufakis once again slammed Athens’ creditors for using “terrorist methods.”

Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has cast his ballot in the referendum. A day before, he had accused foreign creditors of “terrorizing” Greece.

“What they are doing with Greece has a name: terrorism,” Varoufakis told Spain’s El Mundo daily. “Why have they forced us to close the banks? To make people frightened. And when it comes to spreading terror, this phenomenon is called terrorism.”

“Today, the Greek people send a very powerful message,” Tsipras said in a statement. “A message of dignity, of determination. A message that they are taking control of their choices. Many may try to ignore the will of a government. But no one can ignore the will of a people who are seeking to live with dignity, to live life on their own terms.”

Another great article, how the Greek vote against the greedy guts gives great challenges to the EU leaders, not just the greedy cow running Germany……Merkel (of course), along with the head of the IMF, and a few others, all will be needing new jobs. This is a huge slap in their faces, well deserved, but the economic pain their investors are now experiencing will get them out of office very quickly. Good riddance.
